Hore's Bridge, Tollymore Park, Newcastle, Co Down

Small, rubble-built bridge of 1824, carrying a forest track over the Spinkwee River as it flows through Tollymore park. The bridge is located to the SW of the centre of the park, amongst well wooded surroundings. The bridge has a single semicircular arch with (slightly) roughly dressed voussoirs. The parapets are low and have rough vertical stone coping. To the centre of one of the parapets is a stone which is inscribed ‘1824’, with a bench mark carved directly above. To the centre of the other is a carved shell motif. Apparently the initials ‘W.H.’ are carved onto one of the parapets as well, but the writers could not find this. The track over the bridge is uneven.
